IMPROVEMENT IN OILERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,364, dated January 16, 1877 application filed December 19, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it-known that I, STEPHEN S. NEWTON, of Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oilers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked prevented, except when its passage is de# sired.

In the drawings, A represents the tapering portieri of the nozzle. A" is the lower portion of the same, cylindrical in shape, and provided on its exterior surface with a screwthread. This part A1 has a small port, a, through the bottom, situated therein eccentric-ally. a1 is a flange upon the outer side of the nozzle, between the parts A and A1. A small portion ofthis flange is bent down, as at a2, forming a stud, for purposes to be hereafter shown.

A2 is a small cylinder, furnished with screwthreads on its inner and outer surfaces. By means of its inner thread it is attached to the nozzle, and by the outer to the top of the can. There is a port, a3, through the bottom of the cylinder A2, at a distance from the center equal to that of the port a.

At the upper edge of the cylinder A2 there is an outwardly-projecting flange, a4, extending part-way (say, two-thirds) around the cylinder.

When the threaded lower end of the tip A is screwed into this cylinder so far that the iiange al comes in contact with the packingwasher a5, the stud c2 is bent downward .against the cylinder A2, between the ends of the flange a4, the relation ofthe parts being such that the further rotation of the tip in either direction will be limited by the stud a2 striking against the one or the other shoulder of the ilange a4. B represents a can of the ordinary construction.`

A drip-cup, C, can be attached to the nozzle to receive any oil that may run down the outside of the tip, and conduct the same back into the nozzle through ports c, after the bottom ports have been closed.

The peculiar operation of my can-nozzle will be readily. perceived from the drawings and foregoing description.

After the parts have been put in the relations described, a passage for the oil is obtained by turning the tip until the ports a and a3 are together.' A separation of these ports tightly closes the can.`

What l claim isl. An oil can nozzle or tip, having its lower end closed, exceptvan eccentric port, `which rotates with the tip, in combination with a stationary plate or cylinder, provided. with a corresponding eccentric port, substantially as set forth.

2. The delivery-tube A, provided with stud a2 and eccentric port a, in combination with cylinder A2, flanges or shoulders a", and port a3, substantially as and forthe purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
